taco sonora at la palma SF

sometimes i just want a flour tortilla. one that doesn't taste like the plastic bag it was sold in. but i hardly ever eat mission burritos. then last week i stopped by la palma wanting a snack, and noticed the taco sonora on the menu. a griddled fresh flour tortilla folded in half, stuffed with meat (i picked carnitas), cheese, beans, and pico de gallo. maybe crema. i should've written this last week when it was fresh in my head. the tortilla was crispy and browned on both sides (the bottom getting soggy later. i got it to go) and it was delicious.

unfortunately i can't remember the price, maybe $3.95 for one, about an eight inch tortilla. again, if you're craving a flour tortilla, but not a burrito or a quesadilla, i'd try the tacos sonora at la palma.

It seems La Palma is also a hot bed for Guatemalan groceries. Some relatives were down here from Pinole recently and I kept saying certain things I liked were not available in the Bay Area and they kept saying you could get them at La Palma on 24th

I don't remember I just remember over the course of the evening at least a half dozen times when I mentioned something I was told I could find it at La Palma. This was pretty surprising because I didn't even think my husband's aunt was aware of La Palma. It just isn't in her usual territory ... and it was the same La Palama because her answer was always "They have it at La Palma on 24th in the Mission" I figured I'd just store the fact La Palma has Guatemala groceries in the back of my mind for when I return.
